happy holidays misedejem, I was your @bravelysanta! here's your favorite asterisk holders :)

[bespectacled-bookwyrm]

I think it'd be pretty interesting to see a Warriors-style Bravely Default game.

Not sure how they'd implement the asterisk system and weapon choices, but I'd imagine the Duchy and Empire would have fixed weapon and asterisk choice (and maybe something that lets them set abilities, even those from other jobs.)

Khint and Aimee I can picture as functioning like Sheik from Hyrule Warriors, with their combos being what allows them to augment their weapons with elemental magic.

Einheria would be highly mobile and have excellent crowd control, but some of her attacks are high risk, high reward due to being very strong but leaving her vulnerable.

Minette would be a jack of all trades due to her Catmancer abilities, and can have excellent control over the battlefield.

Kamiizumi would be rather balanced, but he excells at one-on-one general fights due to his asterisk specialising in counter attacks.

Victoria would absolutely be a glass cannon. She's about as sturdy as wet tissue paper, but utterly rips apart groups of enemies. (Her combos would probably help her apply poison, since she really likes using Exterminate - which would probably be her "strong attack": harmless until someone is unlucky enough to get hit with the poison status.)

Do you get what I mean?

good morning!! this may seem like a random question, but i’ve read a lot of your bravely fanficions and i love them a lot; do you have any tips on writing as Aimee, Angelo, and Geist? Like their behavior, habits, how they speak, etc.?

Hello there, and good morning to you! 

Firstly, thank you for the support you give to my Bravely fanfiction. I appreciate the love you send towards them! 

To answer your question, however—given my lack of experience in writing Aimee and Angelo as opposed to Geist, I’m going to focus on giving some more general advice here that could apply to any of the three and hopefully other characters, using Geist as an example. (Also, apologies for the super-long post but I have no idea how to condense it without giving thorough examples in this case.)

For those who might be reading this and don’t know who Geist Grace from Bravely Second is, without giving away too many spoilers, he’s an Exorcist who is sadistic and bloodthirsty, but he also has a softer, fatherly side through his connection with his son Revenant. Angelo OVO Pannetone and Aimee Matchlock are also from Bravely Second, and they’re known for patisserie abilities and gunslinging abilites respectively (and, spoiler alert, they do end up becoming a couple by the end of Second).

When I write a character such as Geist for example, how I write him depends on two things: Firstly, what are the main asects of him that we know? What recognizes Geist as, well, Geist? Given that he’s one of the initial antagonist NPCs (non-player characters) in Second (along with Aimee and Angelo), we don’t have as much depth on him as we do with protagonists such as Yew Geneolgia or Magnolia Arch, for instance, so we need to work with what we know. 

If you want to get into the nitty-gritty details of behavior, habits, how characters speak, etc., I think it would be best to look at all the scenes where they’re majorly involved and/or have at least some dialogue in them for examining their behavior and how they speak, as well as rewatch their boss battles for things such as how they move or do things (they’re also mini-cutscenes in a way, given that they also have some bits of dialogue as well). The Asterisk Holder-related Boss Battles in Bravely Default and Second are great in depicting the movements of opponents through their attacks, as well as their general posture while you’re sorting out your protagonists’ next attacks against them. For instance, I noticed that Geist tended to twirl around whenever an attack didn’t hit him.

The second thing is: what’s going on in that fanfic? For example, let’s take one of my fanfics “Quiet Violence” for instance. In this fic, I focus a lot on him confronting his sadism and bloodthirsty tendencies, which is 1. a core part of him and 2. a part of him I wanted to explore in more depth. Because of this, I had to dig deep into figuring out how Geist might feel about exploring said sadism and bloodthirsty tendencies. This can also get into headcanon-creating territory as well, given the exploration you’ll have to do with these characters, and this is where you can get super-creative and have tons of fun thinking up things that suit the character. 

In short: Examine their source material carefully, figure out their main aspects and pay attention to them. Additionally, take into account the context of what is going on with them in the fanfic you write them into, and you may or may not need to write some headcanons in there to make some sense. 

I hope you can apply some of this to writing them, as well as other characters and other fandoms!
